Hi all
in addition to situations where I'm happy to where to a logo on a polo top, there are others when I prefer not to.
I've been searching for a decent source with some kind of commitment to sustainability and fairtrade. I found this and ordered a couple of the polos here in the olive and burgundy colours. They arrived yesterday and are very good indeed as a summer weight cotton polo. They are comfortable, true to size, look good and a decent option.
The price is low but when you read their site, they do seem switched on in business terms to deliver a quality product at that price. https://earthwardrobe.com/blogs/sustainability-and-clothing
Mr Unseen was impressed enough to order me two more straight away.
Feel free to take a look yourself at:

They also do other polos, sweat tops etc.

Interesting; which polo did you buy?
Their £15 base model Russell Mens Pure Organic Polo may be the same as the Russell 577M that I buy from workwear companies for knocking about in the garden and garage. I go for the 577M as it is 100% cotton whereas the other cheaper Russell polos are poly cotton. I bought the last lot from Activewear and paid £14.25 each, there’s nothing on the labels to indicate where they are made. But if they are the same, the website you posted is competitive on price.
When I emerge from the garage and have polo requirements I have Lacostes in a few colours. They only get worn for going out in, so they last.
I bought the one I listed above - fairtrade, organic model (looked to be their top one).
I do the same with Lacoste that have lasted a decade or more. I also have some old Gant and RL I have been bought by others, with Lands End ones in the middle for day to day wear at home.
Lands End long sleeve tailored fit supima polo shirts are very classy.
Unfortunately they don't offer tailored fit now, but they are still quality in the decent colours -navy, burgundy etc
Yes I have a lot of Lands End - they do not have any olive or burgundy available for while, hence my quest.
